British Standards Institution

Sector: Manufacturing

Overview: Under the direction of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee, is responsible for the UK input to ISO/TC 6 and its subcommittees which deal with paper, board and pulp as well as CEN/TC 172 - European paper standards. It covers paper and board in contact with foodstuffs, paper towels and toilet paper, methods of test for paper, board and pulp, nomenclature for the paper and stationery trades, paper sizes, cores for reels of paper, business forms, envelopes and waste paper.
